For Sikhs, it is only by constantly meditating on the one god that individuals can draw near to him. Hindus, on the other hand, worship several gods and goddesses. <br /><br />Sikhs also say that a good life is lived as an equal part of a community, living honestly and caring for others. And that empty religious rituals and superstitions have no value. e.g while many Hindus are prohibited from eating meat, Sikhism does not impose such dietary restrictions.<br /><br />But in terms of stereotyping, my guess is that the Hindu population is huge, politically dominant and spread across the entire sub-continent. The Sikh is small, concentrated in one state (Punjab) and has less political influence.<br /><br />Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-35823914101516385962017-12-04T18:06:48.477+11:002017-12-04T18:06:48.477+11:00bazza

But I would also suggest that the arts were expensive, luxury items that no average family could ever afford or want. <br /><br />My favourite art form could be seen in the illuminated manuscripts of the pre-printing era (i.e before 1450 in Europe). But the material (vellum) was so expensive to buy, and the monasteries' scriptoria were so specialised, that VERY few places could afford the art objects.

It also seems to me that what is done by its supporters in the name of any religion does not necessarily reflect that religions outlook. Much of the great art and architecture of the renaissance was ostensibly for the greater glory of God, even when financed by patrons who had the saving of their own souls at the heart of their interest. Maybe all the gold on that dome derives from that self-interest?<br />Having said that, we can all benefit from the great outpouring of artistic beauty, in all senses.<br /><b><a href="http://todiscoverice.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow"> CLICK HERE for Bazza’s prelapsarian Blog ‘To Discover Ice’</a></b>bazzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794010156639774028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-11270483177232799662017-12-03T10:00:33.415+11:002017-12-03T10:00:33.415+11:00Parnassus

But they were built and run by immodest individuals who needed to show off their power and wealth to the entire world.<br /><br />Why would the Golden Temple be glowing in gold - the dome alone has 750 ks of pure gold. And why would the pathway surrounding the pool be stunning marble and not something simple? I am guessing that the physical beauty enhances both spirituality and equality for Sikhs.<br /><br />For most visitors, holiness comes from the priests and musicians who continuous chant from the Sikh holy book.

Huge crowds of Sikh families had gathered in a walled-in city squares, either defying the British ban on public meetings or celebrating the spring holiday. Without warning, British troops opened fire on the crowd, killing or hospitalising thousands. I don't think the Sikhs ever trusted the British again.Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-81277941200679572502017-12-02T13:59:00.743+11:002017-12-02T13:59:00.743+11:00Hello Helen
